Nearly all Federal Reserve policymakers agreed earlier this month to slow the pace of their rate increases to a quarter-point, with only “a few” supporting a larger half-point hike.

The increase raised the Fed’s benchmark rate to a range of 4.5% to 4.75%, the highest level in 15 years.  ( 48 min )
